Upcycle/Recycle T-Shirt

UPCYCLE/RECYCLE T-SHIRT

A simple DIY project to upcycle/recycle an old T-shirt from boring to kool!!

 

All you need is an old T-Shirt, scissors, unpicker, sewing machine and 30 minutes!!

The first step is to unpick the hem.

Now cut the hem off at the old stitch marks, then cut that in half at the fold. You should have 2 thin strips.

Lie the T-Shirt flat on the ground

Cut off the sleeves as close to the seams as possible.

Now cut straight across from one side to the other keeping as close to the front neck hole as possible.

This is what it should look like.

Fold to the inside and pin the top/neck edge. Both front and back.

Now sew it

Thread the thin strips you cut off in the first step into the newly sewn edges

Try on the shirt and tie the strips at the right length.

DONE

How KOOL is that!!
